We had the most amazing time, our guide & driving (Lukas) was very knowledgeable and made our day that much more special. Thank you Lukas.
What an amazing trip, made so interesting by the tour guide Kriss! He was knowledgeable, entertaining and professional, going the extra mile to help. The trip was a wonderful insight into life outside of the city, with stunning views. Every step was perfectly timed by Kriss, making it a packed but relaxed day. I would definitely recommend, especially if with this tour guide and driver!
Intermediate stops were fun & interesting. The 3 hours at Zapokane was just right. Many different restaurants and an enjoyable tram ride.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip to Zakopane and the Tetra Mountains. Our guide Dawid was the best and even took us over the border into Slovakia. We enjoyed cheese smoked in a real fire with vodka. Several hours free time in Zakopane. Time to explore the wooden house village and the amazing church on the edge of the forest. The other people on our trip were lovely too and we all chatted and enjoyed our day together. I would highly recommend this trip and Viator .

A lovely day up in the mountains, spectacular views of the Tetra Mountains. Lots of little stops as well as the main one in Zacopane so lots of photo opportunities throughout. Kornel our driver was lovely and was happy to answer any questions as well as giving us information at each stop. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great day visiting Zakopane. Our driver Dawid picked us up in a very comfortable vehicle and drove to all the spots you want to see. I chose this company as it said it was a small group tour and it did not disappoint. There was less messing around picking others up or waiting for people to return so everything was much more streamline than other tours I've been on. The cheese was great, the vodka was great and the scenery was beautiful. I fully recommend.
Fantastic day! Dawid took us to see the oldest wooden houses in the area, cooked us Oscypek cheese on a fire, served with cranberry sauce and a cheeky vodka shot to wash it down. Next onto zakopane mountains where Dawid was very knowledgeable and so helpful. Finished the day off going to a 200 year old wooden church which was stunning. A wonderful day and very good value for money. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day and all the experiences along the way. It’s great that Dawid shared his knowledge and made the tour special with the local highlights. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Dawid our tour operator was nice and efficient. Communication was perfect as well as guidance and trip. Thankyou
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you were satisfied with the service, communication, and the tour. We will pass your kind words on to Dawid and hope to welcome you again!
Good trip, was a bonus to have really good weather. Nice to experience the polish cheese and see the wooden homes. The mountains were a sight to see, enjoyed it. Lots of stalls at Zakopane, might not be everyone’s choice.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and that the beautiful weather made the experience even better. It’s great to hear that you had the chance to taste traditional Polish cheese, admire the wooden architecture, and enjoy the stunning mountain views. Zakopane can indeed be lively with its many market stalls, but we’re happy you found the visit enjoyable overall. We hope to welcome you again on another trip in the future!
